"Miss Saigon" is based on Giacomo Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly, and similarly tells the tragic tale of a doomed romance involving an Asian woman abandoned by her American lover. The setting of the plot is relocated to the 1970s Saigon during the Vietnam War, and follows a romance between an American GI and a Vietnamese bar girl.

For The Record:

This revival will be based on the West End revival which opened in 2014.
